Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto joined Ubisoft’s Yves Guillemot on-stage to debut the title following the leaks last month, showing off what looks like a fusion of Rabbids madness, Mario charm and XCOM combat.

No, really. This exists. Stop rubbing your eyes.

Describing the game as a ‘tactical adventure’, it sees the Mushroom Kingdom invaded by the Rabbids who have messed-up the world, with Mario and co. assisting the Rabbids in clearing up the place.

Much like XCOM, battles are turn-based affairs over sprawling battlefields where strategy is key; placing your characters behind cover and manoeuvring your team to perform special actions like launching across the field.

While it may seem weird to see Mario equipped with weapons in the Mushroom Kingdom, they’ve all been given a thankfully silly overcoat – including Bullet Bill launchers and Luigi’s vacuum.
